Dang. Couldn't get a nibble no matter what I tried. I could SEE the danged things, nice sized trout, and I floated flies, lures, and even used a plain old baited hook setup right past them. After a couple of hours I was ready to wade in and toss 'em up on the bank, grizzly style, but I know that patience is good. So I lugged my gear back to the car, got out a DuPont Spinner and with that and my net hiked back to the Ol' Fishin' Hole. I put the spinner a bit upstream and the current carried it right where I wanted it. After the explosion I netted some nice trout (some slightly shredded) and brought home my limit in cutthroat, rainbow, brown, crappie, large- and small- mouth bass, catfish, bluegill, sunfish, a couple of sturgeon and an octopus (which I'll give to my Greek friends). AND I got out of there before the game warden arrived! All in all a pretty good day.
